I'm at "enabled area", have been for 5 weeks. There are 2 cabinets on my exchange 1 is enabled, 1 is not. So hopefully soon.
Don't hold your breath, I've been in an enabled area for well over a year and my cabinet hasn't been enabled yet. Most of the rest of the town is now fibre but I'm not FunkyNige said:

As far as I'm aware they are one of the only ISPs who don't come after extremely heavy users.
BT don't do any kind of throttling or port shaping and are genuinely unlimited on their Unlimited Fibre.McWigglebum4th said:

Zen user for ~14 years here. Expensive, but the (UK) support is excellent, techs are good and the service does what it says it does.
No Zen are very very cheapThey are £1 a month for internet
The rest of the cost is for not having to deal with BT
A lot had clearly changed and, touch wood, I've not found anything to complain about. No large organisation is perfect but to give credit where it's due, BT have done a good job on the whole.
When it comes to fibre I'd recommend BT. Never really had any problems and their customer service these days is actually pretty good.
I moved to EE at one point because they offered me a cheaper rate and instantly regretted it. Fortunately managed to get them to cancel my contract and took a new one out with BT (more Sainsbury's vouchers!).
BT actually tend to prioritise their direct customers traffic over others so it's quite likely that when your connection is being throttled, your neighbour with BT is fine.
